it depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to do with them ?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

H&R are good IMO and not to expensive

 

[Darknight]

Do the H&R allow you to adjust camber???

 

[Dan R]

no they dont. need camber bolts

 

[Darknight]

Any other brand that allows you to adjust camber?

 

[Dan R]

there arent many coilovers available for the 182. the bolts are only 30 quid!

 

[Darknight]

Dan R, the reason i am asking is that i have been told that camber bolts are not strong and could break, i am not an expert so advice from this forum would be good.

 

[generous]

The majority seem to think h and r would be the best, my mate sugested FK any idea what like they would be

 

[Dan R]

fk are crap! so are gaz. all way too hard! are you using them for track? yozza do some bilsteins. Expensive but good. not that many available that are any good for the 182!

I've gaz coilovers on my cup, ride is very hard but it's a track car so it's all good

 

[TheJesus]

I've got the FK silverlines and thought they were total crap at first, too hard etc etc... but having spent £200 on getting them setup and properly cambered they are pretty good. Quite a hard ride, nothing too bad though and runs negative 2.3 degrees camber per side without the use of correcting bolts... still, I'll be replacing for a GDI suspension kit when money allows.

 

[Dan R]

Im gettin the new gdi stuff too. joy of credit cards off to see them next week.

 

[TheJesus]
